name resolution for guard patterns

This PR provides an initial implementation of name resolution for guard patterns [(RFC 3637)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/3637-guard-patterns.md). This does not change the requirement that the bindings on either side of an or-pattern must be the same [(proposal here)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/3637-guard-patterns.md#allowing-mismatching-bindings-when-possible); the code that handles that is separate from what this PR touches, so I'm saving it for a follow-up.

On a technical level, this separates "collecting the bindings in a pattern" (which was already done for or-patterns) from "introducing those bindings into scope". I believe the approach used here can be extended straightforwardly in the future to work with `if let` guard patterns, but I haven't tried it myself since we don't allow those yet.

Tracking issue for guard patterns: #129967

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
